After leaving Rio de Janeiro to live in Australia four years ago I found a way to let my hometown close to me. Tattoo made by Laith from Five Star tattoo in Fremantle, Western Australia.

St. Michael on my ribs.  Done by Greg Ashcraft at Skinworx Tattoo in Pelham, Alabama

Recently retouched tattoo.  Original artist in Dalian, China was a novice and the lines were thin, dark, smudged… so had a guy in Guangzhou redo the ink.

The original art comes from the Disturbed album art from their second album.  It is a 3-d intertwining of the religious symbols of the muslim, pagan, christian and jewish faiths.

This tattoo is a constant reminder to me that im never alone, God is always right by my side in everything i go through. I got it done at Bayou City tattoos in Houston texas! I absolutely love my tattoo and cant wait to get my next one! 

All of this work is credited to Chris Durrough of Redemption Ink Tattoo in Jenkinsburg GA. Its a piece of the wrath of God in the end times. Super happy with the outcome of the piece. 

My full rib tattoo of Buddha’s enlightenment at the Bodhi tree. I just had the top half finished before taking the picture.  Done by Jason Jones of Kaleidoscope Ink in Springfield, MO

A picture of my thigh tattoo right after I got it done. This was my first tattoo and I absolutely love it. The woman is Mary Magdalene and the bottle laying within the rose symbolizes the perfume that she anointed the feet of Christ with. Done by Munky at Truth and Triumph in Dayton, Ohio.

This is a photo of a tattoo I got in March of 2011 that depicts an image of the Chinese goddess of the moon, Chang’e. I decided to get a tattoo depicting a Chinese goddess because Chinese is my major ethnicity, and in researching images of goddesses, she stood out. It’s my favorite tattoo I have (so far). It was done by Darian, who used to work at the shop Aberration Tattoo:

Last I heard he had moved to somewhere in Arizona, so it was touched up by Eric Holmstrom, who did a great job. I get a lot of compliments on this piece and I can say that getting it was a great decision on my part :)
